The Justice Department on Thursday delivered a “last chance” warning to cities suspected of having "sanctuary" policies to drop their resistance to federal immigration officials.
In a notice reviewed by Fox News, the DOJ announced that five jurisdictions “have preliminarily been found to have laws, policies, or practices that may violate” a key federal statute concerning cooperation with federal immigration officials.
They are: Chicago, New Orleans, New York City, Philadelphia and Cook County, Ill.
Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a written statement that sanctuary cities “adopt the view that the protection of criminal aliens is more important than the protection of law-abiding citizens and of the rule of law.”
“I urge all jurisdictions found to be out of compliance in this preliminary review to reconsider their policies that undermine the safety of their residents,” he said.
The statute in question generally bars local officials from restricting the sharing of immigration and citizenship information with federal immigration officials.

Pull funding, these cities are almost broke now and that would be a crushing blow and certainly get their attention as they will be forced to raise already high taxes.
Not California?
Wonder how much of a “warning” individuals who ignore Federal tax laws would get.
Sounds like Trump’s DOJ has wargamed this already. I doubt it’s an idle threat.
“When you have to shoot, Shoot. Don’t talk.”
Usually I would agree, but I think he is taking the high road on this and giving them the opportunity to comply with federal law.
Jeff crawled out from under his rock for five minutes to announce this, eh?
Those cities are replacing outbound citizens taxpayers with illegals.
Not California?
Ny thoughts exactly! How the heck can Califorinia not have a city on the list?
Jeff Sessions feels AMERICANS SHOULD BE FIRST... Way to go Jeff Sessions... you're right. AND on the right track...
Hey Mr. Sessions: “A little less conversation and a lot more action”...
Hartford, CT is broke and the illegal immigrants are costing the city a fortune.
C’mon—DOJ—you can help!
The mayors are going face the Monty Hall dilemma.

I’m sick and tired of this approach of pleading and coaxing mayors and governors to be law abiding citizens. Slap cuffs on them and haul them into court for the felony of harboring aliens. This pussy footing around reminds me of timid parents anxiously trying to discipline their renegade kids who are running roughshod over them.
California could be viewed as a spoiled but dangerous brat with scary powers.
The state is also having their own disaster happen now with the fires. And who doesn’t like wine? Oh, wait a minute...
Start with Xavier Becerra and his sidekick, Sean McCluskie.....
Those rascals have reportedly fibbed about the hard drive linked to the AWAN spy scandal.
Plus if you throw Rahm Emmanuel in the clink he may be willing to cut a deal and throw Hillary under the bus.
Way too much mollycoddling. As of 1 Nov no more money for sanctuary cities, states, whatever. Instead put that money for construction of the WALL.
